Chapter 143

Tang Yi sent Shen Yue to the Newcomer Building.

The outside of the Newcomer Building was the same as always, surrounded by a group of inmates waiting to pick up scraps, and a few inmates huddled together dividing money on a card.

Noticing Shen Yue's line of sight, Tang Yi slowly opened his mouth beside her, "See it? Those are the lowest level inmates who can't get tasks or paid labor, have no money, no food, only robbing newcomers. Most newcomers don't dare to resist, if they resist they will lose the protection period for newcomers and even lose the absolute safety area of the Newcomer Building."

Shen Yue noticed the key words in Tang Yi's words and asked, "What about the minority who resist?"

Tang Yi's eyebrows curved slightly, he seemed very happy that Shen Yue asked this question, "Those who dare to resist will become high-level, if they can counter-kill everyone, they will be the future person in power."

By this time, the two had arrived at the entrance of the Newcomer Building. Shen Yue politely bid Tang Yi goodbye, "Goodbye."

Tang Yi, who was just about to further expand on his great achievements: ...

Tang Yi had never met anyone in prison who would communicate normally with him before, most people were alright if they weren't scared of him when they saw him, let alone chat with him.

The group in Building 4 did want to chat with him, but they talked about killing this and killing that every day, and the means were still not perfect, he found it annoying to listen to.

He preferred to talk to Shen Yue.

Pure, straightforward, without worrying about ulterior motives, he could experience the happiness of temporarily letting his brain go.

So he followed Shen Yue into the Newcomer Building and stubbornly continued to ask her, "Aren't you curious who counter-killed everyone?"

Shen Yue walked and directly gave the answer, "I'm not curious."

Shen Yue didn't need to think about this kind of question, she could judge from Tang Yi's expression and his previous words that this was Tang Yi showing off his "great achievements".

"Then what are you curious about?" Tang Yi refused to give up. Shen Yue stopped her steps back to the cell when she heard this, looked up and stared at Tang Yi, "How did Ma Sha die."

Unlike before, Tang Yi's expression didn't change when he heard this question, but the moment he heard it, Shen Yue suddenly realized that she couldn't see through Tang Yi anymore.

In an instant, the person in front of her became the person in power of Building 4, not the Tang Yi she was chatting with before.

"So you want to know about this." Tang Yi whispered softly, not knowing if he was talking to Shen Yue or to himself.

Shen Yue didn't miss any subtle reactions from Tang Yi, but even though she observed them, she couldn't judge what they meant, she could only remember them for now.

After whispering, Tang Yi continued, "After your protection period is over, make it to Building 4 by winning the split building battle and I'll tell you."

"I'm not going to Building 4." Shen Yue rejected decisively and mercilessly. She didn't like the people in Building 4 and it wasn't suitable for her either.

Tang Yi tilted his head and asked, "Why? Is it because of what happened in the canteen when you first came in? I like talking to you, as long as you're willing to come to Building 4 I can take care of anyone you don't like."

Tang Yi felt that he had shown extremely high sincerity, and Shen Yue was indeed hesitant, but only hesitant.

"No one is nice to another person in this prison for no reason. We've only met twice, what are you after?"

Stared at by Shen Yue, there was only him in those obsidian eyes that were as black as onyx at this moment.

The focused and indifferent gaze fell on him as if he wasn't the notorious killer that made people shudder at the mention of his name in prison, but just an ordinary person.

Tang Yi liked this kind of gaze. He liked Shen Yue's attitude towards him. He liked that even though she saw his abilities, she would still look at other things with an indifferent expression.

Tang Yi had always thought that his obsession with Shen Yue, whom he had only met once, stemmed from their so-called agreement, but after interacting with Shen Yue today, Tang Yi understood.

His obsession with Shen Yue came from anticipation.

Tang Yi had always been very lonely. There was no one around him at the same level. Others were either stupid as pigs, which he had no interest in looking at, or their abilities were lower than his, cowering before him.

But Shen Yue was different.

She looked really weak, yet she didn't seem to be afraid of anything. Talking to Shen Yue gave Tang Yi the illusion that he was still a normal person, that he was still living an ordinary life.

What he was obsessed with was not his agreement with Shen Yue, but Shen Yue herself. He wanted to keep Shen Yue by his side to relieve his loneliness with her. Tang Yi was very smart. His intelligence lay not only in logical analysis, but also in emotional analysis. He could analyze and control others as well as analyze and control himself.

When he understood what he wanted, he would use the most meticulous conception and planning to achieve his goal.

"What I want is you yourself. I like talking to you."

The top level of the prison didn't open often, but the screens there could simulate all kinds of weather.

Today it happened to simulate sunny weather. The artificial sunlight shone on Tang Yi as if a carefree youth in the prime of his life was making the most sincere confession.

Any ordinary girl would surely be moved by Tang Yi at this point. Who could reject such a sunny and handsome youth with great strength?

But Shen Yue said she could reject him.

The only person in her heart was Ma Sha.

What sunny handsome boy? She'd rather be told who the murderer behind her back was so she could get rid of them.

Shen Yue heartlessly turned away, still rejecting decisively, "I'm not going to Building 4. But even if I don't, we can still talk."

When Tang Yi heard the first half of the sentence, his eyes had already begun to turn dangerous. But after hearing Shen Yue finish, he instantly returned to normal. Even the atmosphere around them turned sweet.

The next moment, he lowered his head slightly, his expression becoming a little aggrieved, "If you're not an inmate from my building but talk to me, your person in power won't be happy."

"I'll become the person in power." Shen Yue said matter-of-factly, completely unaware of the weight of her words.

An international friend who was nibbling on a scallion pancake passed by in the newcomer building corridor, heard Shen Yue's words, looked at her doubtfully for a moment, then was immediately frightened away by Tang Yi's gaze.

He scrambled away from the scene in panic and quickly ran back to his cell to share what he had seen and heard with his other cellmates.

Shen Yue still didn't know that she had already become a "boss" figure in other people's mouths. There were even newcomers considering following her during the split building battle. Of course, some others had different ideas as well.

After being pestered by Tang Yi to talk more meaningless words, Shen Yue returned to her cell.

The cell was devoid of people, only the cold stone urn holding Ma Sha's ashes.

Reviewing Tang Yi's every word and move, Shen Yue sat on the bed, murmuring to Ma Sha's ashes.

"It's so hard to analyze other people, thinking is so hard too."

"But Ma Sha, I will learn."
